Have used my Bissell Powerwash Deluxe 4 or 5 times now no suction

I have used my Bissell Powerwash Deluxe on four or five occasions with no problem. I lent it out and now I have no suction from either the main machine or the tools wand. It's just as if something has become dislodged. Any ideas?

It might be clogged, but you would be able to see the clog through the clearview water suction area. There are a couple areas to check:
1. The black gasket where clearview water collecting unit and the base's front meet.
2. Check if you're getting sufficient suction: remove the water collecting unit. When you turn on the the unit, you'll feel suction out of a black hose pointing upwards next to the grey dial. If you're not getting sufficient suction you need to check that all the gaskets are seated properly. there are 3 gaskets: (1) an orange one seated between the black hose and the base unit (2 and 3): On the bottom of the unit there is a removeable panel. This panel has a gasket (red) and inside there is a white gasket.
